I fell into that thought trap already. Risky - with coloured documents you may loose data completely. I prefer 8 bit grayscale for most letter scanning purposes - very efficient to compress, much nicer on the eye, and because of intrinsic "anti aliasing effect" of the gray scale, you can afford much lesser scan resolution for comparable image quality (8 bit grayscale @100dpi gives you an optically comparable image quality for *text* of 300 dpi 1 bit B&W) Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
